[PATCH v8 4/6] x86/entry: Enable random_kstack_offset support

Kees Cook
2021-03-30T20:58:33Z

Allow for a randomized stack offset on a per-syscall basis, with roughly
5-6 bits of entropy, depending on compiler and word size. Since the
method of offsetting uses macros, this cannot live in the common entry
code (the stack offset needs to be retained for the life of the syscall,
which means it needs to happen at the actual entry point).
